Skimmers in a Blur

Black Skimmers

Since I’ve been having fun lately with slow shutter speeds, thought that I’d try it out with some Black Skimmers. Found several hundred of them hanging out at the east end of Galveston Island in the windy, cold weather (relatively speeking). They were in two different groups and would blast off every 10 minutes or so. Took this shot panning with the flock at 1/8 sec on shutter priority.

Welcome

Wecome to my blog. My goal is to share some of my favorite photos including the details behind the shots with a few tips along the way. I'm an early riser so you will see lots of early morning wildlife photos. The golden light in the morning can be magic and for me it's all about the light.
